  1. Biden is right about MAGA Republicans but overall not enough voters of any flavor seem to care enough about this historically top issue. If MAGA wins in 22 and 24 the American democratic experiment is over.. Authoritarian governments are usually first voted in and then you don't get to vote them out. This is sad and tragic.
  2. There probably won't be a trial. If there is of course press will be allowed but that doesn't mean it will be televised.
  3. Plea deals are arranged between prosecutors and defense attorneys The client must agree or it won't happen. There is no need to prove guilt in court with plea deals People are tripping about this. Of course it's a different ball game if it goes to trial. Of course it's also possible that because this is such a highl profile politically charged case that the prosecutor might choose to not offer a deal. I assume they will have a super strong case and they might not want to give him any breaks on sentencing. Or the defense may choose a trial and use the insanity defense. Wait and see.
  4. Sorry to bring the bad news to those starved for entertainment and cheering on a civil war but its highly unlikely there will any trial at all. Like the vast majority of cases there will be a plea deal. More so even in this case because the charges are very serious and he's obviously guilty. The defendant would need to be even crazier than he obviously is to insist on a trial. https://www.californiacriminaldefenselawyerblog.com/97-criminal-cases-resolved-plea-arrangement/ "97% OF CRIMINAL CASES ARE RESOLVED BY PLEA ARRANGEMENT" Also the San Francisco authorities are under no obligation to release any tapes or videos. Ever. Maybe they will be released but there is no obligation so don't hold your breath. The MAGA fanatics are going to continue to believe their absurdities regardless of any releases or trials. They are not about truth. They are a fascist movement only about power by any immoral means possible. The Justice system doesn't exist to feed those insurectionist trolls.
  5. No but there's a rumor it will be eased which made Chinese stocks rally.
  6. Maybe he can tell them about how he totally messed up with his totally insane Zero Covid policy.
  7. Good question. From an American perspective, there is kids Halloween and Young Adult Halloween. Once you reach middle age, doing Halloween would be kind of embarassing.
  8. They aren't the only two but Brazil is an important country. Trump endorsed Bolsonaro BTW, which was no surprise.
  9. He kind of had to because the costume wasn't close enough to know otherwise.
  10. I think it's much more complex than that as far as what costumes really shouldn't be OK (there are very few). Jack the Ripper is a Halloween classic. Yes he lived a long time ago but he made an impression. Dahmer is an iconic mass murderer with very bizarre and gruesome details. It's obvious to me Dahmer will become a classic like Jack the Ripper. Several tv shows have been made about him. He also has made an impression. School shooters never will be. They just aren't very distinctive. They're ciphers. They're generic. Seen one, seem them all. I am a little torn on Hitler costumes. I actually think Hitler costumes might be OK in Asia but not in the west. The reason history of course but also there are real Nazis and Neo Nazis everywhere in the west (and Russia) so dressing as one is basically not exactly a costume.
  11. Watch his podcast in the "nightclub" on the grounds of his house and you'll get to know him a lot better. I think his show is more relevant than it's ever been because he's on a crusade to try to break the ice between the divides. It won't work but very few people are even trying.
  12. I get what you're saying about Lotus but I think you're off target. The first season was indeed perfection. There is no way they could compete with that at the same location and characters. Been there. Done that. Changing the setting and characters was obviously very intentional and in my view exactly what they should have done. So you watched the first episode of Season 2 as I have. They're introducing the characters, milking the Sicilian setting, they're just getting started. I also don't think this season will reach the amazing heights of Season 1, but it's still too early to know for sure, and even if it's half as good, that is still very good. I'm hooked again. I think most viewers will be as well.
  13. Yeah he's horrible. But he is a billionaire and a technical genius so we're stuck with him.
  14. Another funny thing if Paul Pelosi had hired a male sex worker in San Francisco of all places these MAGA conspiracy loony tunes believe one of the richest men in the city would have hired that guy of all people who looks like something the cat dragged in.
  15. A lot of Americans don't know what state they live in.
  16. I will clarify. A good doctor will try to get that evidence. But trying and failing does not rule out scabies if the symptoms evidence is strong. So doctors will treat based on symptoms alone. That's a fact.
  17. So was the itching worse at night or not. If its scabies you can get temporary help with tea tree oil. It kills the mites but not the eggs. Since I've definitely had scabies before I could self diagnose. It's quite distinctive. But yeah you should see a doctor if you're not comfortable with that.
  18. "Treat those two Imposters just the same." What is the name of the Chinese stock he mentioned? I can't make it out.
  19. The Musk.effect. Great quote: “I do not trust Musk and his seemingly infinite immaturity. I do not think Twitter will fall apart instantly but that it could die a slow death. Why waste more time?" Power user Nibel. Quit Twitter because of Musk.
